Hi.Nobody knows the outcome without some trials & errors or researching.
One time a sensior design engineer of AudioQuest, the 26-year old cables/cords makers, told me its products all gone through intensive sighted (sorry!) audition sessions by a panel of third party personnels, including audio critics etc & their design/production to go along with the panel's joint subjective recommendations.
Chips, like anything else in audio, get their own so called sonic
signatures, due to their designs & interfacing conditions with mating parts. We are talking complex L, C, R networking, my friend.LM3886 is a high performance audio amp chip broadly used in digital surround audio amp/receiver application. It can deliver 68W/4R rms
with Vcc at lowly +/- 28V, with effective O/P protection.How chips sound like? Let me take a successful story of Red Wine Audio which design/builds linear chips audio amps only & earns rave apraisals from critics & end-users alike in recent years. Repeat award winners.
Its owner/designer took tons of patience & pain to tune up the 2051 chip WITH a non-inductive stepped volume attenuator to work out his repeatedly award winning amps which sonically beat many exotic amps, SS or SET alike.
Just like a slap on the face of many tube only lovers, here is an end-user's appraisal:
"Sitting in the dark in the evening with a glass of red wine, music emerges & floats & decays as naturally as if the musians were in the room..."
That said, I personally never auditioned Redwine Audio's latest "Best of 2006" award winning chip amp.
Until I had, I still stick to my belief discrete devices still sound more musical to my ears than any chip amps I've heard.
